Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold as complete glue or starch-based adhesive
Ready glues based on starches/dextrins are in 3505.20, not pure modified starch.
If minimally modified potato starch
Chapter 11 for basic starches; significant modification required for 3505.
If used as yeast nutrient with high sugars
Chapter exclusion sends yeasts to 2102; pure dextrins stay in 3505.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify as component, not finished glue; separate from 3505.20 if not ready-mixed
• Bulk import? Use proper Incoterms and fumigation certs for starch products
